Donna Brazile, now the current DNC chairwoman & replacement for Debbie Wasserman Shultz (who was forced to resign because of being anti-Bernie/Pro-Clinton), leaked insider Bernie Sander’s campaign information to Hillary’s staff:

Concessions given to Bernie Sanders & his supporters were a false illusion of a victory for Bernie’s “self righteous ideologies”. Clinton Advisor: “Bernie and his people have been bitching about super delegates” “Throw Bernie a bone...[...]....his people will think they’ve “won” something from the Party Establishment. It doesn’t make a difference. We don’t lose”:

7 months before Hillary earns nomination over Bernie Sanders, Donna Brazile pledges to John Podesta that “as soon as (Hillary’s) nomination is wrapped up. I will be your biggest surrogate” “Look forward to working with you to elect the first woman President of the United States” says Podesta:

Clinton staff discusses Hillary only supporting a carbon tax to knock Bernie Sanders out of the primaries: “To be clear: it’s lethal in the general, so I don’t want to support one. But don’t want to give bernie contrast right now.”:

11580 Brent Budowsky writes to podesta 2016 February : "In the last 48 hours a) Hillary and her campaign have begun to question Bernie's integrity and b) older feminists are beginning a civil war against younger women with idiot comments such as younger women support Bernie to get laid. What would be the reaction if Bill Clinton, George Bush or Harry Reid comments such as this? Or that younger women must support Hillary for the sole reason that she is a woman? Team Clinton has no idea the danger they are causing of creating such an intense antipathy towards Hillary that many Bernie supporters and younger women will not vote for her in November. I had coffee today with a female college senior who is an intern with the Obama administration---the daughter of a Democrat who has worked for senior Democrats who asked me to look after her while she is in Washington, who told me "I just hate her so much I might even vote for a Republican but I will never vote for her." And she doesn't even support Bernie."

- almost amusing and mouth frothing. "Senator Sanders has been pressed on this vote in every Democratic debate. And the truth is, even Hillary Clinton has cast votes she later said she regretted. So I’d understand if Senator Sanders would just stand up and say, “I got this one wrong. I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”..... And until he changes his position on immunity for gun sellers and gun makers, Senator Sanders is wrong on gun safety. And he’s the wrong candidate for President"

THE ENTIRE VP SHORTLIST (notice poor Bernie at the bottom of a very long list, he never had a shot) edit: apparently divided into "food groups" (Podesta's words) by race and gender lmao. Fucking liberals.

In this one, the campaign conspires to have a group of women senators privately confront Bernie about running a negative campaign so they can leak the meeting to the press to shape their preferred narrative that Bernie is a sexist who is running a negative campaign.

"Not sure how it's playing out on your end but having been seeing a lot of negative stuff online about the single payer hit on Bernie. See it being fit into the she's dishonest/will say anything to win frame. So I just wanted you to make sure you were cognizant of that."

John Podesta responds about Bernie's healthcare proposal.

"Thx. His actual proposal sucks, but we live in a leftie alternative universe"

EMAILID 25301 Neera Tanden (star of Podesta part 14 (https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/58ppna/podesta_emails_part_14_wikileaks_emailid_23605/ ) with her "Fuck those assholes" ( https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/58ppna/podesta_emails_part_14_wikileaks_emailid_23605/) comments said about the New York Times) writes about information she gained from Judd Legum

"Faiz advising Bernie. I think it's just kind of informal for now but he's like writing speeches and stuff or at least speech language."

Neera adds directly addressing Podesta about Faiz's conduct:

"you know about this? Jesus Makes sense since all these freaks after Hillary are like his spawn."

Podesta responds to this betrayal (someone daring to give advice to Bernie Sanders): "Yes. Gave him a very hard time. I have to say this does not go down easy with me. Wish him well in life."

DNC / HRC JOIN BANK ACCOUNT! THE DNC PRIMARIES WERE RIGGED FROM THE BEGINNING! BERNIE NEVER HAD A CHANCE!

Robby Mook writes an email to Hillary Clinton, gets a response then forwards the Hillary email exchange to John Podesta. July 15, 2015

"Madame Secretary, Thanks for the call! Hopefully we didn't bore you to tears with slides. Two small follow-ups: --I wanted to get a gut check that you're comfortable moving forward on the August TV spend. It pains me to start spending but I think it's the right thing to do. --I wanted to get your blessing to move forward with the DNC joint account. We didn't get a chance to cover that on our call. I'm obviously happy to have a conversation about it if you want--or move forward. I'm happy with the arrangement and believe it's important to our money and operational strategies. Thanks, Robby"

And the response to Mook's email from "H" writing from an email address the press identified a few weeks ago as belonging to Crooked Hillary Clinton :

Just so folks have it, here's the list of negatives we've tested againstSanders the past six months As you can see...with the electorates in IAand NH, none of these tested that well, compared to what we would like tosee.

Some guy named "Justin" (Justin Cooper. He was the only Clinton IT guy who didn't take the fifth in front of congress. Sonetear(Combetta) was there and fiffed, BPags skipped the hearing. ) is a mole in the Clinton Foundation who has been reading everyone's emails and loading spyware on their computers

CF not spending money on what they said they use it for...>I’m sensitive to that (which is why I’m asking) but those CHAI Stats are on nearly every public listing of CF accomplishment. I’m want to make people think twice about calls for dropping grants to CF or return the money and the HIV/AIDS work hits home in a way that other stats don’t. Plus it’s international work. I’m concerned about saying we used money to fund healthy schools (because we didn’t use the funding for that).

From: Doug Band "Also I signed a conflict of interest policy as a board member of cgi On it, I wrote that my wife designs bags for cgi, and loses money doing so plus donating her time And that teneo represents 4 cgi sponsors, 3 of which teneo brought to cgi . Oddly, wjc does not have to sign such a document even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home etc I could add 500 different examples of things like this and while I removed lasry bc they are all on the offense, I get the sense that they are trying to put some sort of wrong doing on me after the audit as a crutch to change things and if I don't mention things like lasry where they all have issues, I may regret it"

Doug Band, who was Clinton's body man while he was in the WH and the guy who practically invented the Clinton Foundation, says this about Bill, who apparently did not have to sign a conflict of interest policy document like the rest of the Clinton Foundation board:

"he is personally paid by 3 cgi sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home, etc."

Just to give you some context, the condition upon which the Moroccans agreed to host the meeting was her participation. If hrc was not part if it, meeting was a non-starter.CGI also wasn't pushing for a meeting in Morocco and it wasn't their first choice.This was HRC's idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting.It will break a lot of china to back out now when we had so many opportunities to do it in the past few months.She created this mess and she knows it.

Jennifer Palmieri writes about how Bill Clinton should refuse to answer the press on a few subjects

We recommend not engaging on specific questions related to 1) donors; 2) implementation of the MOU; or 3) HRC's knowledge of donors to the Foundation. These are rabbit holes. Press want us to go deeper into these subjects to try to get us to introduce more facts which will lead to more questions and give the story more life.

It is very clear that Clinton staffers do not want the press or the voters to gain access to "more facts"

CLINTON FOUNDATION SCHEMED WITH BIG PHARMA TO KEEP THE PRICE OF AIDS DRUGS HIGH IN AMERICA (https://archive.fo/G1q8s) (TLDR. http://imgur.com/a/Dcdmx)

When the Clintons are questioned about the obvious sketchiness of their foundation, they routinely cite AIDS work. But the AIDS work is carried out by CHAI ("Clinton Health Access Initiative"), a separate organization.

In one angry fax (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/13278), Ira Magaziner, the head of CHAI, says the Clinton Foundation would have 40% overhead if they left out CHAI from the statistics (see pg.10 of attachment). The Clintons conflate these two organizations and they know it. Here (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/10977)is an email from Podesta where he admits he, "mixed CHAI and CF together" on a television appearance defending the foundation. Tina Flournoy, an aide to Bill Clinton, worried (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/12410) that the foundation was constantly "using CHAI stats." Craig Minassian, an employee of the Clinton Foundation, dismissed (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/12410) those concerns by noting "the HIV/AIDS work hits home in a way that other stats don’t."

But now, with this new email ( https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/24440 ), reveals the true nature of CHAI's work. CHAI contracted with Big Pharma companies for AIDS drugs to be distributed in developing countries. This contract specified that AIDS drugs would be provided for a significant discount to CHAI. Getting the drugs at a large discount acts like a direct donation to CHAI. The Clintons reap all of the PR benefits which they use to defend themselves. Otherwise the Clintons would have no defense when the issue of the Clinton Foundation corruption is raised.

But why is this arrangement beneficial for Big Pharma? They could easily distribute drugs to the developing world themselves. Many pharma companies already have programs where they tightly monitor and control the distribution of drugs (REMS) (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/rems/) and programs that allow them to distribute to the less fortunate (Pfizer Rx Assistance Programs) (http://www.pfizer.com/health/financial_assistance_programs/patient_assistance_programs). Why then, do they need to go through the Clintons?

Corrupt Bargain

The answer, laid out for the first time in this email, is that the Pharma companies relied on the Clintons to resist efforts to lower the costs of AIDS drugs in the United States, the world's most lucrative drug market. They enable CHAI to do and claim credit for running a massive AIDS drug program, in exchange they expect high drug prices in the United States.

• The Clintons get the positive press for running a large drug program with CHAI from the cheap drugs from the companies. • The Pharma companies get a political machine to preserve their ability to fleece the American consumer. • Since the insurance companies mostly pay for these drugs, the American consumer barely notices. • And everyone else, even those without AIDS, just pay higher insurance premiums to offset this expense. The costs are distributed throughout the population via the insurance industry.

Smoking Gun EmailThe email is a reaction to "comments President Clinton made on lowering domestic AIDS drugs prices at the World AIDS day event" that must have set off a firestorm within Clinton world. Ira notes that CHAI was "taken by surprise" and "wish[ed] that someone had consulted with us before he made these comments." He explains:

"we think that publicly pressuring the US and European AIDS drug companies to lower prices and bringing pressure to allow generic AIDS drugs into the United States will have limited if any success and could seriously jeopardize our negotiations to continually lower prices in poor countries. ...

We have always told the drug companies that we would not pressure them and create a slippery slope where prices they negotiate with us for poor countries would inevitably lead to similar prices in rich countries. If we were going to change our view on this, we should have informed the companies before President Clinton went public with his statement and attempted to negotiate a way for them to participate in and get credit for whatever steps we could have persuaded them to take to help the crisis in the states.

Since President Clinton’s comments were made, we have been contacted by a number of advocacy groups who are now intending to wage a public campaign to bring in generics and lower drug prices. We do not feel we can participate in this without jeopardizing our work around the world. We cannot oppose what they might do, but we also cannot be publicly supporting it either.This campaign will not get started until January, so we have some time to figure out and act upon our own strategy."

Having laid out the damage, Ira turns to mitigation strategies:"If we do try to do something in this area, we suggest that we approach the innovator companies that can currently sell products in the US with the idea of making donations to help clear the ADAP lists. For a variety of reasons, the companies will likely favor a donation approach rather than one that erodes prices across the board. …"

What reason(s) could there possibly be beyond simple profit maximization?"… I would guess that they would also likely favor a solution that involved their drugs rather than an approach that allowed generic drugs from India to flood the US market at low prices or one that set a precedent of waiving patent laws on drugs. ... We can go to war with the US drug companies if President Clinton would like to do so, but we would not suggest it."https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/24440#efmAZwAcGAePAgkAizAj9

SummaryCHAI freely admits there is an implicit agreement with the drug companies not to pressure them to lower domestic prices. Bill Clinton made comments that added pressure. CHAI receives a great amount of positive publicity for their AIDS work abroad, and the comments jeopardize that program. Here, CHAI admits it is in their interests for US AIDS drug prices to remain high, so that they can continue getting credit for keeping them low abroad.

But CHAI is not content with simply fleecing American AIDS sufferers. Since CHAI doesn't want pressure on Pharma companies to linger, they propose to torpedo other AIDS advocacy groups by creating a smaller, watered-down domestic program with the Pharma companies before those other advocacy groups begin their assault in January.

The Clintons are only out for themselves. In comments on World AIDS day in the subsequent years of 2012 (http://archive.is/mg2cp) and 2013 (http://archive.is/RRBBz), Bill says nothing whatsoever about domestic drug prices. If AIDS advocacy groups cannot trust the Clintons not to stab them in the back, how can the American people?

EMAILD A Clinton Global Initiative(CGI) executive asks a meeting from Podesta. Apparently he has to justify why he wants the meeting in a long email. He wants to discuss the future of CGI:

"it is imperative that we formulate an answer to the question whether CGI can and will exist beyond 2016 if Secretary Clinton becomes the next President."

Apparently he is concerned that the end of CGI may be in sight. Maybe it will not be needed any more as a campaign asset? Or the conflict of interests will be too big to ignore?

"1) In its current form, CGI’s existence depends on President Clinton’s active and visible participation as the convener. 2) The economic viability of CGI depends on its ability to attract members and sponsors to support the enterprise."

"Thanks, Jim, for getting to me yourself. If implemented, your proposal will be a great help to us. Dr. Moses Massaquoi, the head of the Clinton Foundation in the Ministry of Health & Social Welfare here in Liberia, is actively involved with the management of the Ebola incidence and heads the “case management (treatment)”team.

Clinton Foundation not paying for the services they received for more than a year. This is related to the "looting of Haiti" case where the "Friends of Bill" list was created in the State Department. Chelsea complains:

"My friend Eric was the partner who led the work McKinsey did pro bono + expenses for the CF/ CBHF and the IHRC in Haiti for more than a year and their expenses have not yet been paid."

Eric, the friend wants to get paid but doesn't dare to tell his bosses because the info might leak out and it would be embarrassing if the press found out about this.

"I think he's a bit at wits end and also doesn't want to run it up the flag pole at McKinsey to attract any undesired attention."

HRC AND WJC TOLD TO DECLINE FOREIGN DONATIONS ASAP BY THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN!

"John, some free advice, good advice. Clinton Foundation should cut off foreign donations ASAP. Inevitably will happen anyway, they should get it off the table now. Not only because of the intrinsic issue, but it would be good for the Clintons to get in the habit of cutting off downside risks of any kind. You do not need me to tell you, before this campaign is done, it will not be pretty. I will not publicly call for this, but this is my advice to you and them......Brent"

- Money from foreign governments - Domestic or foreign individual donors with vetting issues (i.e. the campaign and foundation should agree on vetting criteria and jointly discuss any donors who fall outside the criteria) - HRC attending Foundation events - HRC's name remaining in the Foundation name

*Operational issues*

- Travel on corporate or donated planes (these should be vetted against SD and Senate work) - Especially lavish/high-end hotels for events - Overseas events with foreign leaders or government officials - If the Foundations issue reports that are critical of its own progress or indicate that there may not have been progress on projects - Potential conflicts from overseas-owned organizations (UK and Sweeden)

*Process questions *

- Who presents information to HRC and the family on vulnerabilities and press issues? - Who needs to be engaged in discussing press matters regarding the foundation? - Who has the ultimate say on press language? Who is engaged in the sign off process? (note: the Foundation will be the on the record voice on Foundation issues) - Is the campaign engaged in discussing Foundation donor vetting? - Is the campaign engaged in discussing Foundation operations like foreign events, domestic events to avoid vulnerabilities?

Over the past few days a few people from the Foundation have reached out to me frustrated or upset about _____ (fill in the blank largely derived meetings Friday or Monday). I've responded to all w/ essentially the following (ie disintermediating myself, again, emphatically) below. I also called my Dad last night to tell him of my explicit non-involvement and pushing all back to you both and to him as I think that is indeed the right answer. Thanks Sample:

Please share any and all concerns, with examples, without pulling punches, with John and Cheryl as appropriate and also if you feel very strongly with my Dad directly. Transitions are always challenging and to get to the right answer its critical that voices are heard and understood, and in the most direct way - ie to them without intermediation. Particularly in an effort to move more toward a professionalism and efficiency at the Foundation and for my father - and they're the decision-makers, my Dad most of all. Chelsea

More discussion on the infamous Doug Band memo about Teneo, which revealed corruption and inurement by the Clintons. They were using "charity" to personally enrich themselves to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. Doug is worried that if the "story gets out" Teneo, the company involved in the scheme will have to be shut down completely:

I realize it is difficult to confront and reason with her but this could go to far and then we all will have a real serious set of other problems. I don't deserve this from her and deserve a tad more respect or at least a direct dialogue for me to explain these things. She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her way and has a lack of focus in her life. I realize she will be off of this soon but if it doesn't come soon enough...."

EMAILID 16024 re47 and cbaker agree to put the former Governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm on the CTR paylist as an official CTR shill. This seems necessary because they want to start paying out money to her immediately. After a while they will move her to another "vehicle" (slush fund?), to draw salary from somewhere else. CTR is Correct The Record, a super PAC, most known for massive shill campaigns, using paid posters on social media like Reddit and Facebook, funded by millions of dollars. I explored with Marc what the limitations would be on HFA's use of Governor Granholm if she were paid by Correct the Record. As a threshold matter we could not call her a spokesman for the campaign or schedule her directly. We would be able to refer groups or media to her if they are looking for a non-campaign, third part surrogate, the same way we might refer them to the DNC Chair or Stephanie Schriock. For example this weekend she spoke at the Ohio State Party dinner. If she were at Correct the Record we could at least make sure her speaking and media opportunities met our needs/requests. Finally, as a person paid by CTR she could not solicit donations for the campaign. She could be at CTR for a period and move to some other vehicle (New York - or Michigan- state party, DNC, HFA) at any point (i.e. there is no waiting period).

CTR talking points for January 2015. CTR is Correct the Record, a super PAC mostly known for hiring paid posters, shills to post pro-Hillary content on Reddit and Facebook. The goal of such an operation is to create an illusion of organic support for Hillary. This roundup will be possibly useful in the future to identify senior CTR accounts by comparing what they posted to the contents of this email, since most CTR employees only started posting much closer to the election than January 2015.

HRC CAMPAIGN OPINION OF DAVID BROCK'S CORRECT THE RECORD (IT'S NOT GREAT)

There was some concern in the Hillary Clinton campaign about Correct The Record (CTR), a PAC which publicly announced on their website that they are using paid shills to post on websites like Reddit.com . CTR is controlled by David Brock, and funded by millions of dollars. CTR is open about their activities of posting propaganda and manipulating websites like Facebook and Reddit. Their goal is to create an illusion that large, enthusiastic support exists for Hillary Clinton online. The concern was about Brock directly coordinating with the campaign and the press writing articles about it like this one (mentioned in the email)

John Podesta on CTR:"Brock $ machine!"

Neera Tanden on CTR:"That's fine But skirting if not violating law doesn't help her INMHO"

Brock now thinks Hillary will likely face The Donald , and that he could give her a tough challenge. He's leaning on his super PAC, American Bridge, to step up delivery of a Trump oppo research book, contemplating strategic and tactical changes to Bridge's program, and upping the group's budget, the source said. Bridge's union allies are telling Brock that Trump could attract significant support from rank-and-file union members in key states.

"He's [Trump] winning state after state in the primaries and his campaign doesn't show any signs of slowing. He's even funding his own campaign, so there's no fear of running out of resources and losing steam."

"Trump's widespread, unwavering support among GOP voters is nothing short of terrifying."

She could have defended New York without praising Trump, but what the hell, we are in a Democratic primary where some genius thinks it is clever for her to praise Donald while attacking Bernie. Is the plan here to help her win Democrats in a primary or persuade Bernie supporters to vote for her in a general if she is nominated?

HILLARY CAMPAIGN WRITING THE "REMARKS" FOR AN OFF THE RECORD TRUMP PROTEST

Subject: Remarks for OTR Trump Protest

This has the full script folks. A Lot of them were involved with writing the scripts for the "Off the record" protests (OTR protests are the type of protest that was exposed by #VeritasVideos from #ProjectVeritas) Tweet this at O'Keefe. This email has a whole script of prepared remarks for this event:

"HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

REMARKS AT CULINARY WORKERS PROTEST

AT TRUMP TOWER

LAS VEGAS, NV

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2015"

Dan Schwerin is sending the script over, Jennifer Palmieri reviews the script and approves, someone called eruiz is approving of the script as well. John Podesta of course is being kept in the loop and responds with the exact time the event is supposed to take place.

Looks like Hillary personally went to this event http://archive.is/XlAXN http://archive.is/T4775

Post in the thread and download all the video you can get of this event. Research this. It needs to be investigated closely. What exactly they were meaning when referring to this event as an Off The Record ("OTR") Trump Protest" ? "A little after 5:00 vegas time."- according to Podesta. Las Vegas, Nevada, October 12, 2015.

Considering Hillary has been in Putin's "inner sanctum" and approved of 20% of our uranium to end up in his governmental pockets, it shows her cozy relationship between them. HYPOCRITE!

Page 61 of attachment:

"Hillary Clinton Said One Time She Visited Putin And Bonded With Him Over Protecting The Habitat Of Tigers. “One time, I was visiting with him in his dacha outside of Moscow, and he was going on and on, you know, just listing all of the problems that he thinks are caused by the United States. And I said, ‘Well, you know, Mr.’—at that time, he was still prime minister. I said, ‘You know, Mr. Prime Minister, we actually have some things in common. We both want to protect wildlife, and I know how committed you are to protecting the tiger.’ I mean, all of a sudden, he sat up straight and his eyes got big and he goes, ‘You care about the tiger? I said, ‘I care about the tiger, I care about the elephant, I care about the rhinoceros, I care about the whale. I mean, yeah, I think we have a duty. You know, it’s an obligation that we as human beings have to protect God’s creation.’ He goes, ‘Come with me.’ So we go down the stairs, we go down this long hall, we go into this private inner sanctum. All of his, you know, very beefy security guys are there, they all jump up at attention, you know, they punch a code, he goes through a heavily-armed door. And then we’re in an inner, inner sanctum with, you know, just this long, wooden table, and then further back, there’s a desk and the biggest map of Russia I ever saw. And he starts talking to me about, you know, the habitat of the tigers and the habitat of the seals and the whales. And it was quite something.” [Jewish United Fund Of Metropolitan Chicago Vanguard Luncheon, 10/28/13]

I am less concerned about historical blowback on her past positionthan this issue eating us alive for being on the wrong side and givingProgressives a real reason to try and push someone more weighty into theprimary. There are no other issues that Labor cares about. This is it forthem and they actually have voters on their side."

"From: John AnzaloneSubject: Re: TPA/TPP To: Robby Mook

Naturally we should not be making this decision in a policy vacuum or just because we are concerned about a story of her changing her mind or taking on Obama. It is so much biggerthan this. Getting on the wrong side of Labor on the only issue they careabout has ramifications on the ground in these early states. I say we suckit up and be as definitive as possible from the beginning that we don’tlike these deals. We will be right with voters and right with labor. Weget no integrity gold star for staying pure on this issue because of oneline if friggin Hard Choices or because this is a key issue for a lame duckpresident."

"I've heard a concern from some folks who care deeply about Israel that Hillary will be the president "most unfriendly to Israel in our history, worse than Obama." Thoughts on how I might respond in conversation? Thanks"

Ron Klain acknowledges that Hillary is very vulnerable on ISIS and terrorism :

"That is, it is just a matter of time before the Republicans (certainly) and the media (likely) begin to try to use San Bernandino as a sign that things were broken while she was Sec State and that she did not do enough to fix them. And I don’t know if saying, “Hey, this really wasn’t a problem until after I left State” is going to cut it. That is, someone (a Democratic opponent now, a moderator, or a Republican opponent later) takes her line – “the first job of any President is to keep the American people safe” – and says, “Well, it’s also the first job of a Secretary of State too – and what did you do about it while you were Sec State?”

Hi-I wanted to provide a heads up on the next issue likely coming our way on TPP. Obama just readjusted Malaysia's tier on the human rights list in order to move TPP thru with Malaysia attached. Trumka will likely be putting out a statement today blasting this. I have heard that we will soon be asked to weigh in given the Secretary's role at State and as a Presidential candidate. Wanted to provide this heads up. Let me know if I can help or you have questions. Nikki

List of media personalities who went to the "off the record" private party in the personal home of John Podesta. Includes many corrupt, in the tank-for-Hillary journalists like John Heillman, Mark Halperin, Maggie Haberman (colluding in other emails with the Hillary campaign) and many others. Largest amount of invitees who said yes to the private party are from the NYT, Bloomberg, MSNBC, CNN . Seems to nicely reflect the level of corruption and pro-Hillary bias. This is April 2015 so they were influencing and corrupting journalists for a long time and their investment clearly paid off.

EMAIL 12110 From: Glenn Thrush, Chief Political Correspondent & Senior Staff Writer at POLITICO to John Podesta "I need u It's an Obama WH story you are in the thing... in a good way but could really use your insights sorry to be a pain in the ass " The only Obama related article by Glenn Thrush around this time is this one: http://archive.is/gMigP - archived so the evidence can't get as easily deleted as Crooked Hillary Clinton's 33 000 emails.

MEDIA COLLUSION: Jennifer Palmieri is complaining that in an interview with WJC about the Foundation, NBC asked CRITICAL questions since they had PREVIOUSLY agreed to paint the foundation in a good light, even though they are still promising to do so. So she makes a contingency plan for good press: "Craig has gotten in touch with NY mag this am to do a story about how grossly the media has handled the story on book/foundation and make this experience with NBC part of that story."

EMAILID 12403 From the attachment section of the email. This pdf memo reveals extremely close coordination between Eric Schmidt (google) and the Clinton campaign as early as 2014. They are developing software tools to help out the Clinton campaign. "I have been kept apprised of the work being done by Eric Schmidt’s group and others working directly and indirectly with your team. .. In summary: We have selected a team of developers, unaffiliated with Eric, to build the front-end of your website... Eric’s team is also developing products that are not, strictly speaking, critical for launch, but would be extremely useful to have as early in the cycle as possible"

• We have selected a team of developers, unaffiliated with Eric, to build the front-end of your website — a relatively simple process that does not need to have begun yet. These are former employees of mine in whom I have the highest confidence. They are apprised of what Eric is building but not dependent on it, having identified commercially available products for all mission-critical functions in the event Eric’s group is delayed or otherwise derailed.

• We have instructed Eric’s team to build the most important products in their portfolio — specifically, the back-end of the website, the ability to accept donations (along with associated features, most importantly the ability to store credit card information), and the ability to acquire email addresses — first. Given how much time remains between now and launch — and, again, the availability of alternative solutions — I believe there is effectively no chance that these core functionalities will not be in place in time for launch.

EMAILID 12427 Clinton campaign is getting questions in advance AGAIN for debates. Previously they got a debate question from Donna Brazile. This time it is John Podesta that gets the email from Jon Soltz who somehow learned of a question Cavuto will ask in an upcoming Republican debate. Podesta immediately blasts this out to the whole campaign so they prepare for the fallout. Soltz to Podesta: "We have gotten intel that Neil Cavuto plans to ask a veterans question of the GOP candidates tonight. As you can guess, the candidates are very likely to attack the Secretary in their answers. Your press team, therefore, may find it useful to get this to reporters"

This email talks about a guy named Chip Smith wanting to help out with the campaign. He is the ceo/coo of Glover Park Group, a lobbying firm, and previously had worked on the Gore campaign.

More interestingly, in May of this year, Chippy became the chief lobbyist for good old Rupert Murdoch and 21st Century Fox.

EMAILID 15455 Email contains attachments with the agenda of a 2007 meeting in NY. Many issues are discussed, like the topic of creating a media "echo chamber" : Control the political discourse. So much effort over the past few years has been focused on better coordinating, strengthening, and developing progressive institutions and leaders. Now that this enhanced infrastructure is in place—grassroots organizing; multi-issue advocacy groups; think tanks; youth outreach; faith communities; micro-targeting outfits; the netroots and blogosphere—we need to better utilize these networks to drive the content of politics through a strong “echo chamber” and message delivery system.

RIGGED POLLS! We are as interested in the "who" suburban, rural, we are polling as the issues. The plan includes a possible focus on women, might be something we want to do is over sample if we are worried about a certain group later in the summer.

I believe these are the two we landed on as far as people's favorites.

So there were even more versions before this...

Teddy Geoff:

Adding Podesta here too for his review. I vote #2, but defer to the non-Jews on this thread if anyone thinks "amen" might rub people the wrong way.

Lauren Peterson

How's this? .@Pontifex https://twitter.com/Pontifex is right—climate change is a > moral crisis that disproportionately harms the neediest among us. We need > leadership, not denial. -H

John Podesta

I like it.

Notice how that last version is the same that was tweeted out. So tweets signed by -H actually came when John Podesta "liked it" and went through numerous revisions, reviews and product of teamwork beforehand. With 0% actual input from Hillary Clinton.

Podesta decides to stonewall the WSJ. This email has the subject:Confidential . The staff is very very worried about the WSJ finding out that Hillary is already having meetings and building the campaign team in early 2014. He milks info out of the journalist which he shares with the others so they can map out what the guy knows. For some reason they are very afraid of this one. Podesta writes about the meeting with the WSJ journalist.:

He was doing a story on who wanted her to run, who didn't. Had you in the latter category Only thing I told him was there was a third category-people who thought it was her decision and would support her whatever she decided. He had you, me and Maggie meeting with her at Whitehaven. Didn't mention Plouffe. I didn't engage with him on the topic. Just let him talk and gave nothing back.

They made a complete fool out of this poor WSJ guy. He should come out and set the record straight regarding this issue.

Glenn Thrush is at it again. In a previous email defined himself as a "hack journalist" and pleaded with Podesta "please don't tell anyone I did this" when colluding with him. Now Glenn saw a bad tweet from Podesta and he immediately feels the need to grovel at his feet:

Saw your tweet I think u know I wasn't fabricating you anything... No need for a response, but I hope u understand that I take this stuff seriously and try to be sensitive to the human impact of these shitty stories I take zero pleasure in them -- whether u folks believe me or not Cheers and good luck today

Podesta's response

..my tweet was accurate so 1) maybe you should question your sources or 2) maybe you are talking to people on the inside who the pressure is getting to.

I have no doubt you had sources for your story and weren't just making it up, but my tweet was accurate so 1) maybe you should question your sources or 2) maybe you are talking to people on the inside who the pressure is getting to.

Much of this was already covered in earlier batches. Jake Tapper was upset about a story by Faiz Shakir. He complained directly to Jenifer Palmieri and John Podesta though.

The new parts in this chain are both from Jake Tapper:

What's the plan? To try to intimidate reporters who ever report on anything the White House disapproves of? Disgusting.

The report Thinkprogress filed about me is dead wrong. I made that clear to your reporter and he wrote it any way. If this is the quality of CAP's work I will let ABC News know that your organization cannot be counted on for factually accurate information.

Surrogate List! Names, dates, times, and what network they were on. Lot of surrogates here from Februrary. I have no idea whether all of them were known to be surrogates of Crooked Hillary at the time or they presented themselves as neutral commentators.

Also, all of the below have the memo - let me know if there are other messages we want them driving?

While prepping for a town hall once again they "hear" the topics in advance.Must be nice. Before almost every debate. To "hear" topics. Questions.

The existence of moles are revealed by the documented instances where questions or topics were leaked before a debate directly to the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Podesta Emails show undeniable proof of it. See some of the newly discovered evidence below about a person named Bob B.. He was leaking information from FOX to the Clinton campaign. Bob B. leaked two upcoming questions, one about "carbon tax" and "late term abortion restrictions" before a town hall debate. The following text was sent as part of an email between Clinton operatives just before a previous Fox debate

This is extremely important since the third presidential debate will be on the same FOX, this new information just came to light about. With confirmed previous leaking at FOX, we can not be sure the presidential debate questions were not also leaked. In fact it is extremely likely that the exact same system that produced one leak in one debate would produce another leak in another debate

EMAILD Much of this email appeared in earlier leaks, just the last response from Philippe Reines is new. That result seems like Reines wanted to play a larger part in the campaign but he was not trusted enough.

This email chain shows there were multiple leaks from the Hillary campaign and someone was leaking information that Andrea Mitchell was going to get an interview with Hillary. There were also possible leaks to Andrea Mitchell herself. Just recently Brian Fallon was writing something stealthily providing that information to Andrea Mitchell in the middle of a press conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMU_2V-bl-4 Andrea Mitchell got to ask a question soon after.

HRC CAMPAIGN GIVEN HEADS UP ON AN ARTICLE BEING WRITTEN BEFORE ITS PUBLISHED

Dems trying to brainstorm how to counter such a negative article, given my a media insider before it comes out.

"Roy-Don't be surprised if I write a column soon that Hillary is going to blow it, and is repeating her mistakes of 2008, with stories about her "shadow campaign" of consultants milking her for a lot of money, while she gives paid speeches to banks, while she acts like an incumbent, and says virtually nothing important about what Democrats stand for, while the most admired person in the world is the pope for saying the kind of things she should be saying but isn't about economic fairness. This has got to be the worst pre-campaign in my memory. Imagine running as the candidate for the Democratic nomination as the candidate of banks, consultants and insiders. Unbelievable."

"Walk back and escape from her statement that "finally we are where we need to be" against ISIS. We are not where we need to be, we are far from it, most voters do not believe it, and when the next terror attack comes in America--- which it certainly will----she will be branded in hot iron with that statement."

"She can praise Obama without such extravagant overstatement and such direct endorsement of his policy by falsely stating we are where we need to be."THE PUBLIC DOES NOT BELIEVE WE ARE WHERE WE NEED TO BE WITH ISIS. SHE CLEARLY WAS GRANDSTANDING

"I suspect her negative trust ratings are locked in through election day. If there is a Trump ISIS video the campaign release it. If not, her untrustworthy numbers will remain further locked at high levels. These trust problems are self-induced and keep occurring."HRC IS EXTREMELY UNTRUSTWORTHY AND HER CAMPAIGN KNOWS IT

"John, some free advice, good advice. Clinton Foundation should cut off foreign donations ASAP. Inevitably will happen anyway, they should get it off the table now..

So this is what he believes, about the foreign donations but won't mention it as an alleged journalist only as the personal email bro of John Podesta.

"I have run across a rather interesting document which outlines in detail the principal current objectives of the House Benghazi Committee, and was wondering if you might have a minute or two to discuss this. If you are anywhere near 1333 H in next day or two I might even show the document to you (I’m out on Thursday, however) though I am reluctant to hand out copies at this stage. It is a document which raises some questions about the bona fides of the committee’s investigation, rather than about anything specific a certain former SecState might have done.

If the NYT story is correct about huge premium increases----and I believe it is---HRC does not want to be in the position of defending ObamaCare during huge premium increases while Bernie Sanders (correctly in my view) pushes single payer and liberals in Congress and nationally go ballistic---as they should, and I will---about insurer abuse---while Republicans charge---not incorrectly if it happens---that ObamaCare caused these premium increases.

Premium increases are so politically deadly because they affect so many people, so deeply, and so visibly to them. HRC should IMO speak loudly, clearly, aggressively and quickly about this. Brent"

HRC MEDIA SHILL BUDOWSKY RIPS INTO PODESTA ABOUT POLITICAL MOVE THAT IS MAKING HER LOOK WORSE

Brent Budowsky wrote:

Gentlemen, when the Clintons suddenly emerge with a televised photo op at church when her poll numbers are down, and this is broadcast on television news alongside the latest that the Clinton emails may not have been wiped, it does not make television viewers regard HRC as a woman of faith at church, it makes her look like an insincere politician going to church when her poll numbers are down. And a new television ad about grandma will fare no better than the last television ad about mom.

There is a complete misunderstanding by the campaign of the nature and gravity of her problems, and these things make her problem worse, at a time when she is in a very dangerous and precarious position of high and growing distrust.

This is a very hard, and possibly impossible, campaign to help. The solutions are clear but the campaign has eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, to use a phrase the Clintons hopefully heard in church today, Brent

are you aware of a forthcoming---in the next few days---massive examination of the Clinton Foundation by a conservative financial analyst? My understanding is that raises questions about the foundation's financial reports and its shift into areas---AIDs, for example---that exceeded its original authorization from the IRS. I'm not writing anything about it but curious if you have heard anything.JOURNALIST STATING WILL NOT CAUSE TROUBLE WHEN LOOKING INTO CLINTON FOUNDATION FINANCIALS & WARNS OF ANOTHER DOING SO

One quick follow up-- no fingerprints As you said, there wasn't a hell of a lot you guys could do after the Schmidt story -- the emails were already deleted... etc. What action -- OTR -- did u advise. What were the decision points Cheers/Thrush

I must tell you, John, when I see things like this, there are moments when I think her candidacy was just not meant to be. I went out on a limb for her today, which very few Democrats who are not paid by her have done recently as visibly and strongly as I did today, and if I knew this kind of thing was coming I would never have done it in a million years.

Why has Bill Clinton has been the invisible man for the Hillary Clinton campaign for the last six weeks? I can only think of two possible explanations, which are:

First, that Bill does not fully believe in Hillary's candidacy, or alternatively, that her staff does not believe a more visible Bill Clinton would be helpful to her, which I would consider campaign management malpractice...

from Hillary's vantage point, in an age when virtually all political insiders have negative ratings comparable to the bird flu, Bill remains a towering figure of popularity and presidential credibility. Why is he hiding, or being hidden? (Closed door money solicitations do not count).

Late fall is much too late. WJC should have begun early summer in stages, a periodic but reinforcing presence escalating late fall, not beginning late fall. If it wasn't important enough for him to do compared to other things he is doing, shame on him. If it was a staff-generated plan, shame on them. High probability I write a very strong column very soon about these things. I have been very aggressive defending her and avoiding any criticism while she was under attack but this is now going very wrong and when I read the NYT story that reconfirms my view, never publicly stated, that some of the people around her---not you but others---are dumber than bird shit when it comes to modern public opinion and modern politics.

There are some people now working for her who consider her a profit center for their income and not a cause or a mission that they believe in.

An inauthentic strategy to make her look authentic is absurd.

The solution is for Hillary to be more authentically populist, not as far as Bernie but much more so than she has been, and give her candidacy some heart and soul and bite that is not her nature, and not her staff's, which may be her undoing.

I could write a column listing one by one the corporate clients of many of Hillary's closest advisors and many Democrats would puke. I have researched this, and it is appalling, and these are people attuned to making money from whomever writes their checks, who are not attuned---and in many ways are hostile to----the powerful forces that are now driving the electorate....

Dan Pfeiffer can say I am bed-wedding but this campaign right now is in very, very serious trouble and unless something dramatic changes the hourglass is now getting low on sand to set things right.....Brent

CEO OF ALPHABET, GOOGLE PARENT CO, IS ADVISING HRC CAMPAIGN AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL AND DISCUSSES BUILDING INTRUSIVE VOTER PROFILES

Eric Schmidt the CEO of the parent company of Google was working for the Hillary Campaign. Actually working for them. Was this previously known? Eric Schmidt's contact was Cherly Mills, one of the people who got immunity during the FBI's criminal investigation into the private email server. The google leader wrote:

"Cheryl, I have put together my thoughts on the campaign ideas and I have scheduled some meetings in the next few weeks for veterans of the campaign to tell me how to make these ideas better. This is simply a draft but do let me know if this is a helpful process for you all. Thanks !! Eric"

And he proceeds to send over a several page long document written personally by him. It is a piece of work product for the Hillary Clinton campaign produced by Eric Schmidt. He should be made to explain himself and his role in the Hillary Clinton campaign. Since both Cherly Mills and Eric Schmidt used google this email was verified by the google servers with DKIM.

Schmidt gave advice on everything even the location to place Hillary's campaign headquarters. The selection of which ultimately followed the suggestions of the head of Google

"The campaign headquarters will have about a thousand people, mostly young and hardworking and enthusiastic. Its important to have a very large hiring pool (such as Chicago or NYC) from which to choose enthusiastic, smart and low paid permanent employees. ... Any outer borough of NYC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Boston are all good examples of a large, blue state city to base in."

The Hillary campaign headquarters was placed in New York the first suggestion of the consulting advice provided by the Google CEO.

Far more disturbingly. Schmidt talks about:

"b) The VoterKey is the development of a single record for a voter that aggregates all that is known about them. In 2016 smart phones will be used to identify, meet, and update profiles on the voter."

This is bad. Schmidt proposed creating a database of voters which collects "ALL THAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THEM". Google knows a lot, probably too much about everyone.

For each voter, a score is computed ranking probability of the right vote. Analytics can model demographics, social factors and many other attributes of the needed voters. Modeling will tell us what who we need to turn out and why... It should be possible to link the voter records in Van with upcoming databases from companies like Comcast and others for media measurement purposes."

Van = NGP Van, the company that Guccifer 2.0 hacked into. They're going to use the Google database to uniquely Identify each person in the United States to predict how they're going to vote. with this information google can custom deliver content to change their mind or reinforce their vote.

FROM https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/37245"Hey John, Have seen a bunch of disturbing stuff from the tech and field operations in the campaign, especially having to do with NGPVAN, and wanted to share some observations. Give me a ring on 650-796-6748 when you have a chance...

Eric Schmidt speaks and writes exactly as an employee of the Hillary Clinton campaign would. "Who we need to turn out and why" - this is something a Hillary campaign employee would write in an internal document, a hundred percent. This is truly shocking and very scary.

Quick media relations suggestion: Would be good to organize periodic media chats in a format where HRC and perhaps 20 reporters are sitting around a table, in a conversational format, with the rest seated or standing around the perimeter of the table. Even if they lasted only 15-20 minutes per chat when convenient.

It is definitely something we want to try. Jen said after traveling to IW and NH that we need to find a better avail set up that isn't so awful for HRC.

THE MERE FACT THAT TALKING TO REPORTERS IS AWEFUL FOR HRC SHOWS HOW MUCH CONTEMPT SHE HAS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND HOW LITTLE CONCERN FOR HOW THIS AFFECTS US. SHE FEELS SHE IS WASTING TIME BY TALKING TO REPORTERS WHICH ARE IN EFFECT THE MECHANISM THROUGH WHICH THE PUBLIC GETS THEIR INFORMATION. SHE WANTS US TO BE "UNAWARE" AND "COMPLIANT" AS WE KNOW FROM: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3599

From:donna@brazileassociates.comTo: john.podesta@gmail.com, jpalmieri@hillaryclinton.comDate: 2016-03-05 21:16Subject: One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash

"Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.

Folks, I did a service project today. It's so tragic. And what's worse, some homes have not been tested and it's important to encourage seniors to also get tested."

"Poisoned by lead", this is the question being asked in the debate:

https://youtu.be/G3EJ7HXVHHQ?t=18m19s

Notice how Hillary has an extremely detailed response citing a dozen different things, going back to the 90s with references.

Transcript of the March 6, 2016 debate vs Sanders (http://archive.is/Q6d5T). Note that this is a whole another Debate then the one mentioned above where Donna gave a death penalty question in advance. So Donna by herself let Crooked Hillary cheat in at least two different debates. Getting questions in advance must have been standard operating procedure.

HRC has some issue with younger women being less enthusiastic about her than older women.

maybe even say that America could use some next generation ambassadors and, heaven forbid, find some exciting younger people who are dynamic from business and even the right entertainers who are savvy to occasional serve as ambassadors and not just campaign bundlers as ambassadors....

There is a new email on the chain where Donna Brazile was caught helping Crooked Hillary cheat in the debate. She totally lied when she said she didn't send a question to Hillary in advance of the debate a this is big, folks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AMZkDM2SpY This is what Donna said about this issue. Donna claimed she was "being persecuted" for being asked about leaking the question to Hillary so she could cheat.

Podesta desperately wanted to hook up Mikey Dickerson (the tech brought in to fix the Obamacare website) to do an urgent "project" for Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google). They even promised to let Dickerson be CTO of the campaign if he did it (with discretion/kept it confidential)

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/36617

Then Schmidt wanted to meet w Bill Clinton (and donated a plane for their Africa trip)

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/37184

And Schmidt wanted to be the "head outside advisor" to the campaign (and of course a major donor)

With the conclusion of the Third Presidential Debate, media sources began attacking Donald Trump for his “conspiratorial language” regarding collusion and vote rigging. These attacks occurred well before the Third Debate. Numerous high level individuals stated point blankly that there was no collusion or rigging of events.

Initial investigations by Task Force 58 have determined that statements claiming that there is no collusion are false. Numerous emails have been identified that confirm collusion at a number of levels with large media outlets. These include but are not limited to the following:

ABC NBC MSNBC Politico Huffington Post The New York Times

Reporters of note involved directly include:

Jake Tapper Chuck Todd

Reporters will try to hide themselves in their emails either by reporting to an HRC campaign handler that then forwards their articles to the campaign for review and approval, or they will use gmail accounts to hide their identity. We are working hard to try and match mails with names.

In the meantime, we have prepared a PDF that of our initial results. Ordinarily, we would not release such a small document. However, we felt it prudent to provide you all with this information given recent events. The PDF can be downloaded here .

Task Force 58 will continue to research and categorize evidence of collusion and provide a more full report in the future.

Addendum

Enterprising members of the community have identified additional pieces of evidence linked to collusion. See below for a list.

EMAILID 11897 Democats are campaigning with the prospects of owning the Supreme Court for decades to come. Written by Augie Ribeiro, but John Podesta loves it and finds it great. "Be a Voice to Decide The Future of the Supreme Court The next President of the United States will change the future of the Supreme Court for generations. By the middle of the next President's term, there will be four Supreme Court justices in their 80s. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg born March 15, 1933. Justice Antonin Scalia born March 11, 1936 Justice Anthony Kennedy born July 23, 1936 Justice Stephen Breyer born August 15, 1938 If Hillary Clinton is elected President in 2016, and is able to replace Ginsberg, Breyer, and either Kennedy or Scalia, she will lock in a very young liberal court for many decades to come. "

Outline for a strategic consulting company that does all sorts of shilling for HRC and includes business and academic minds for legitamacy. "A damn good memo, I must say. It was written early 2003. The date on the memo is weird."

EMAILID 15319 John Podesta gets an email signed as "Barack Obama". Podesta being someone pretty important, probably expected something better but this is essentially a spam begging for donations with parts such as "Today, if you're ready to make these choices and meet the challenges that face us, pitch in $3 or whatever you can to become an official State of the Union Donor." Even the leaders of the campaign are not exempt from getting Democrat Spam.

>I am very happy because this is the best realistic result to come out of Paris. Now we can truly say that the Republicans are the only thing standing in the way of literally saving civilization. If they don'tcooperate then it is no longer hyperbole to say that they are truly enemiesof the state, enemies of the world. I am so happy I can say to my kids, yeah, people have finally gotten around to doing the right thing. It's not all corrupt. There is a chance. I'm not naive enough to think that this is the solution, but just a new beginning. Too late? Yes, should have happened years ago. But finally, a plan for real action. I'm totally one hundred percent for Hillary because if any one of these bozos makes it to the White House, then we'll have a revolution on our hands.

"I am scheduled to speak with him tomoorow....doesn't sound like there is much else to cover. (I want to keep the distinction between DA and FFA clear for him.)

EMAILID 27006 Huma Abedin writes that they have to send Katy Perry to do an Arkansas event because Hillary is unwilling to ask her daughter to go. Katy Perry is such a puppet for them that they can use her as a replacement for Chelsea when needed.

"She said no to asking Chelsea. Would go herself before asking her daughter. So we are at plan B: Katy Perry it is."

Glen S. Fukushima seems to be a person working with Center for American Progress (CAP) and Neera Tanden who is one of the most prolific emailers in these leaks. Glen is planning a trip for Neera to Japan and as a part of that trip there will be an opportunity to collect campaign contributions. Glen wants to arrange donations from some "high net worth American business executives" to Hillary Clinton, but he has one big concern:

"How do I ensure that I am given “credit” for having gotten these individuals to contribute to HRC’s campaign? Is there a manual or set of guidelines you can send me on the do’s and don’ts of being a bundler for HRC?"

I presume it has occurred to you all, but I would urge the POTUS to discreetly talk with Lindsay Graham in the next few days to congratulate him on his impressive primary win.

He perhaps shouldn't directly put a call into Graham -- which would probably get out -- but perhaps pass the word to invite Graham to call him. Graham is the best future Republican ally of the administration for the next two years, and in a close Senate may provide a critical vote on a number of occasions -- much more so than he has recently.

Podesta and team are worried that someone has his password. This email was sent on 2016-03-19 12:07 Previously it was noticed that no released email was later than March 21, 2016 as noted by Wikileaks itself (https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/789458342993354752). That was two days after this email exchange :

" Hi John

Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your Google Account

Sara Letham and Charles Delevan both agree that the email is legitimate, they are telling Podesta that sombody knew his password to his gmail already in March 19, 2016

"This is a legitimate email. John needs to change his password immediately, and ensure that two-factor authentication is turned on his account."

However the original email does not look like a legitimate email from google at all, since there is no reason for them to use bit.ly an URL shortener. Seems like the above mentioned staff convinced Podesta that the email was really from google and he clicked on an unsafe bit.ly link. Sara Letham and Charles Delevan should both be fired for incompetence and gross idiocy. They were the ones responsible for Podesta believing a fake email to be real.

Hi all, Jen is taking one more pass at this memo but wanted everyone to have latest draft. Huma, this is something we've worked up in response to HRC's questions about the stump and "fighting for you." Our goal is to get it to her tomorrow. Would welcome feedback tonight. Thanks Dan

IN ATTACHMENT"This memo is an attempt to more systematically outline the core message we believe the campaign should be driving and provide YOU with ideas for how to organize a stump speech and answer questions in town halls and interviews. This would also guide products such as ads, talking points, visibility, etc."

please don't further circulate my email from david rolf. i just wanted to relate our under the radar good news. it could backfire and hurt our cause if the way emails fly around, fox types used it to union bash and hurt our cherished mutual cause, thanks, nancy

The big debate in the Democratic Party is what’s the best way to do this? Just take it from people who have it and give it to the government and let them give it to everybody else, or start the whole new round of innovations while growing small business, growing the economy, raising incomes? It’s a legitimate debate.

Talking about how you raise the incomes of poor people.

Hillary’s the only person who’s come up with a plan to see where it’s migrated, because even in small towns in rural America now you’ve got prescription drug problems. And now that we’ve cracked down on the abuses, heroin is cheaper than prescription drugs. Why? Because it’s now being grown in Mexico and harvested by preteens and it can be distributed. And if you go into all these small towns in rural America, where there’s no economic activity, you see it running rampant.

"You are in better place going in to new Hampshire than you were in eight years ago. Take the gloves off and figure out recapturing the 18 to 35 year vote later. Set up a separate rec‎apture program tomorrow. We can help with a parallel program with a celebrity out reach tomorrow."

Damage control after Hillary pissed off the entire LGBTQ community by her remarks at Nancy Reagan's funeral. Her staff wrote and edited her entire speech to "clarify" her position. They openly discuss how they need to go back and smooth over relations with that group, where and how to message, etc.

"when bloomberg was having problems w the times he called Arthurschulzburger [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Ochs_Sulzberger_Jr.] and asked for coffee. He made the case that they weretreating him like a billionaire dilettante instead of Third term mayor. Itchanged the coverage moderately but also aired the issues in the newsroomso people were more conscious of it. But Arthur is a pretty big wuss sohe's not going to do a lot more than that.

Hillary would have to be the one to call.[HRC WOULD HAVE TO CALL SCHULZBURGER, TO DO DO WHAT? PRESUMABLY THERE WAS UNFAVORABLE COVERAGE OF HER]

He also thinks the brown and women pundits can shame the times andothers on social media. So cultivating Joan Walsh, Yglesias, Allen, perrybacon, Greg Sargent, to defend her is helpful. They can be emboldened. Fwiw- I pushed pir to do this a yr ago.[TALKING ABOUT BULLYING NY TIMES INTO SUPPORTING HRC]

It's sad but I'd also advise she needs a more trivial approach to her an arsenal. BS has made his campaign/movement symbiotic with a pop culture trend. HRC needs this kind of infusion to pull younger voters. And she may not be the best face of it so so maybe it's trending figures to advocate for her b/c that's the crap that young people pay attention to. I hate to generalize a generation but by social media nature, they "follow". So if someone they identify as cool endorses - they will likely fall in line with that candidate.

Wendy Bronfein is a succesful media marketing and branding executive whose award winning promotions for NBC networks and her current work on the Kelly and Michael Show have given her a special instinct for reaching target audiences with messages that motivate and are measurable...

Please forgive her crass language ( READ BELOW), but her point is spot on and I believe should could be immensely helpful in improving HRC’s connection to millennials.

Personally I don’t believe our current strategy is effective and we need to regroup and rethink how we connect with this group of voters.

UNIONS I think that John is going to be meeting with Trumka on Friday in DC and we'll know more after that. I agree that a vote should only be called if we know we'll get it. Otherwise, its not worth it. I'm also surprised that Bernie hasn't peeled more unions off. I think that's significant. If unions like ATU, CWA or APWU are going to raise a big stink it would be easier to do if they officially endorsed. But they haven't

>We have a problem. HRC overstayed her case this morning in a pretty big way. Marcia, Judy and I have been figuring out what we could say that doesn't contradict their 2001 statement. But my other idea is to have women Senators who all voted for it to put out statement.

>What did she say that was wrong?

>She said women groups were all pressuring her to vote for it. Evidence does not support that statement.

UNIONS This is deeper than that, our union "endorsed" HRC without speaking to the members and when confronted we were told it was a done deal. One of the few unions to endorse Bernie was Verizon.... and they got shafted in contract negotiations. It was a clear message to the other unions that if you didn't bow you were on your own. Looks like the longshorement don't like their struggle being used to push HRC's "civil rights" agenda.

...I wanted to get your blessing to move forward with the DNC joint account. We didn't get a chance to cover that on our call. I'm obviously happy to have a conversation about it if you want--or move forward. I'm happy with the arrangement and believe it's important to our money and operational strategies.

I know this email thing isn't on the level. I'm fully aware of that. But her inability to just do a national interview and communicate genuine feelings of remorse and regret is now, I fear, becoming a character problem (more so than honesty).

But her inability to just do a national interview and communicate genuine feelings of remorse and regret is now, I fear, becoming a character problem (more so than honesty). People hate her arrogant, like her down. It's a sexist context, but I think it's the truth."

Self-Research -- spoke to HRC. As we discussed, her definition of what she sees remaining with personal lawyers and HFS is the narrow areas we discussed (e.g., taxes, health, finances/speeches, family) though she added BZ. I shared that HFS can continue to manage in partnership with outside personal counsel (including DEK, HT, me) but that self-research as a whole (and explained the larger paradigm) should be in NY and run by someone sitting in NYC,with which she agreed. We discussed HFS; she wants her doing these areas, vetting, and personnel from a perch in the Legal Counsel operation or the COO operation -- RM let's discuss so it is consistent with your vision, organizational paradigm and goals.

EMAILID 11152 from someone named fwj to Podesta Re: black vote " The black is obvious super critical. Im hearing the same complaint in political circles that i continue to hear while fundraising. "The campaign doesnt value black folks and takes us for granted"."

My only concern is stating the article inflicted damage on our campaign. Certainly true but I worry that if we leak the letter, it could be misinterpreted as us admitting the email controversy in general is hurting us. Maybe we could soften it a bit by saying "...creating a firestorm that had a deep impact and cannot be unwound.

EMAIL 11446 Someone named Scott Wallace, likely the guy in this article http://archive.is/9NsDI writes to John Podesta, apparently he wants to become US Ambassador to South Africa. : "I know you must have a million things on your plate, but as I mentioned to you, Elizabeth and Smith Bagley were encouraging me to reach out to you sooner rather than later about a possible appointment in an Obama administration... I am passionate about helping South Africa achieve its full promise, and see its upcoming elections and the next couple of years as critical to the health of its democracy. It has become my second country, and I would be deeply honored to be considered to represent President Obama as ambassador there." He also has a plan B: "Of course, if it is determined that there are other areas where my background may be better put to use, I am happy to discuss them as well. .. My full CV is attached."

11525 Hillary campaign talking about manipulating Reddit and discusses possible ways to exploit Reddit for their benefit : "Our other option is Reddit, which has an extremely vocal core of LGBT members, but I would prioritize this Facebook group, which is the largest LGBT community of Hillary's supporters I know. These are friendlies, they are already carrying water for us making sure the apology is out there, and they firmly sit in groups 1 and 2 that Dom identified. Whatever we did to send our LGBT talking points to folks has really worked, they are popping up everywhere on the supporter Facebook groups.

Maybe she could do Funny or Die w/ Meyl Streep w/ the Galyfinakis (can't spell his name for he life of me) w it her. That would be Hilarious! And I still think she should do Season Opening of SNL. She hates this shit, but at the end of the day, nothing will move her personal numbers more.

EMAILID 11563 #HillarysHealth might be really bad : "Have you talked with her at all about taxes and health? I'm know both are hyper sensitive but I wonder if both are better dealt with very early so we control them"

HRC campaign distorting HRC true health. "Have you talked with her at all about taxes and health? I'm know both are hyper sensitive but I wonder if both are better dealt with very early so we control them--rather than responding to calls for transparency."

In the last 48 hours a) Hillary and her campaign have begun to question Bernie's integrity and b) older feminists are beginning a civil war against younger women with idiot comments such as younger women support Bernie to get laid. What would be the reaction if Bill Clinton, George Bush or Harry Reid comments such as this? Or that younger women must support Hillary for the sole reason that she is a woman?

The idea of the campaign for the candidate who could become the first woman president initiating a civil war between older women and younger women over her candidacy is political malpractice that leaves me speechless.

My phone is ringing off the hook with establishment Democrats who she thinks support her, who are appalled and alarmed by the kind of campaign she is running....more than one of them has said I could quote them by name, that's how appalled and alarmed they are, and I told them to calm down and tell the Clintons directly what they think, but not go public right now....

11915 Big discussion inside the Hillary campaign whether to take money from people who are registered as "foreign agents" according to the FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The final decision? taking the money from foreign agents: "Hi all – we do need to make a decision on this ASAP as our friends who happen to be registered with FARA are already donating and raising." Robby Mook-"I'm ok just taking the money and dealing with any attacks. Are you guys ok with that?" Palmieri "Take the money!!"

BONNER GROUP: Contributions from Linda Pritzer show up as $700,000 in the attached Excel sheet, but the FEC data shows no contributions in 2015 or 2016. Are they laundering money through the Bonner group?? This email is dated from 2008, thats why it doesn't show up in 2015 or 2016.

Anything you've seen about The Bonner Group outside of wikileaks originated from me. I've been researching them and David Brock's groups since July, and opened up a site to house my findings in September.

(remember how Trump Foundation was barred from raising funds in New York because they weren't properly registered? That's what's happening with the Bonner Group, but in every state.)

Seems clear that Clinton's campaign was gearing up big-time as early as December 2014. Is this a massive breach of FEC rules? "From: Robert Mook robbymook@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2014 8:01:13 PM To: Huma Abedin Cc: John Podesta; Cheryl Mills Subject: Re: Update We had a good meeting today to ratify the research plan and discuss staffing structure and talent. Few things to report out:"

No matter what spin is used for campaigning purposes, the idea that a critical distance can be maintained between the White House and Wall Street is naïve given the multiple channels of money and favors that flow between the two. It is even more improbable, given the history of connections that Hillary Clinton has established through her associations with key bank leaders in the early 1990s, during her time as a senator from New York, and given their contributions to the Clinton foundation while she was secretary of state. At some level, the situation couldn't be less complicated: her path aligns with that of the country's most powerful bankers. If she becomes president, that will remain the case

EMAILID 12342 Tina Flournoy alerts John Podesta to a document that's being released. There is some concern that Bill Clinton said something that could hurt the campaign. She sends it over as a PDF. It's an old meeting between Blair and Clinton. Clinton talks about pretty much hating the refugees saying "on another level I don't want any": "Bill Clinton: I understand the problem. On the other hand, we have to take enough pressure of Macedonia and Albania so they don't close the borders to keep their countries from coming apart. Talk to your folks. On one level, I'd like to take 100 thousand and put them in America tomorrow and run the risk of saying people don't want to go home.** On another level, I don't want any. They might like it here and not want to leave.**

EMAILID 12401 This seems big. Chelsea Clinton provides a list of concerns to the staff including John Podesta. Apparently several cases of surveillance and spying was going on between the employees. All of the names of persons will need to be identified and followed up on. There is a lot of information in just this one email: "Ilya physically saw/caught Justin a couple of days ago reading his bberry and loading the same spyware onto his computer that he loaded onto Bari's computer" "- my father was told today of explicit examples at CGI of Doug/ Teneo pushing for - and receiving - free memberships - and of multiple examples of Teneo 'hustling' business at CGI - and of people now having quit at CGI" "- Ilya believes Hannah and Justin have taken significant sums of money from my parents personally - some in expenses - cars, etc. - and others directly"

HRC Sick????????? "Two benefits of this revised plan - we have a better sense of press reactions before having her sit down and it is more time for her to be in right head space. Given where she is now, I don't think it is realistic to expect that an interview on Monday would go well. Do also think there is a value in having staff take first round of questions on this."

Did Clinton's campaign have a mole on the Benghazi committee? Susanne Grooms is/was the Democratic legal counsel to the committee. There are other emails where the Clinton campaign is in contact with her getting info and dates. Here it seems like there is language that might indicate her contact with HRC's campaign is illicit. "I just spoke with Susanne Grooms, who is resisting the idea of a telephone call. John, I am not sure David is available right now to discuss -- is there a number where I can reach you? You can reach me at 202.434.5487. Thanks."

Evidence of Clinton Campaign lack of ethics in fundraising. Denigrates Obama people of being "prissy" [read: ethical]. Subject: Re: F.E.C. Can’t Curb 2016 Election Abuse, Commission Chief Says There is a stalemate among the agency’s six commissioners, who are perpetually locked in 3-to-3 ties along party lines because of a fundamental disagreement over the commission’s mandate. Adding Elias. I agree with you, John. I think we focus hard on raising as much as we can and then throw the kitchen sink at everyone who we believe steps over the line, understanding that has limited impact. On May 3, 2015, at 5:55 PM, John Podesta wrote: I have no magic solutions other than execution. Elias may have some legal ideas to slow them down. We have 3 things we have to do. Raise the primary $ by expanding the bundler network. Get Priorities functional. Use this to scare our people into giving bigger sums. We may need to get WJC into the mix sooner. We should also ask BHO to do more in light of this, although they are kind of prissy about how they approach this.

Podesta discussing how to skirt campaign finance law and the FEC. Option proposed: 'there is one legal tool we could use that might slow them down. The law has a little noticed or used provision that says that if a complaint has been filed and it is either dismissed or not acted upon within 120 days the entity that filed the complaint can sue the FEC to force it to proceed with enforcement. If the FEC fails to move forward, then the complainant is permitted to bring their own lawsuit to enforce the law directly. IF it were announced that this was the path we intended to take, it would both make news and perhaps give pause to the groups." FURTHER PROOF OF COORDINATION BETWEEN HRC CAMPAIGN AND DNC: "Is this something we want to push forward? If so, would we want the DNC to do it? The campaign? Or would we prefer it be done externally?"

And here's more evidence of the "non-existence" of the Clinton campaign prior to her announcement. Notice the "we haven't been 'hired'" instead of truthfully "we haven't been hired." (no quotes) "The other thing we'd need to be very careful about from a compliance perspective is that we are volunteering to help her make a final decision. We haven't been "hired" and she hasn't decided to run. It's very important we make that clear."

...The other is that the press as a whole doesn't like Clinton very much (and the feeling is mutual), so there's a bias toward believing that the public feels the same way. So somehow her campaign is struggling even when it's winning, and polls that show her winning are reported as showing her losing

Quinnipac poll showing HRC winning. Ample evidence is now available that polling orgs are shilling for HRC and are outright oversampling groups to get favorable results (See: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/15442). ...The other is that the press as a whole doesn't like Clinton very much (and the feeling is mutual)...

John Podesta's real opinion on Senator Bernard Sanders: " that doofus Bernie" This email also contains some thoughts of Democrat Edwards Tanden about Republicans. He seems like a truly sick individual, completely consumed by hatred in his heart. Tanden about all Rebuplicans: " If they don't cooperate then it is no longer hyperbole to say that they are truly enemies of the state, enemies of the world." Edwards also states: "I'm totally one hundred percent for Hillary because if any one of these bozos makes it to the White House, then we'll have a revolution on our hands." NOTE: Note that Edwards Tanden definitely includes Bernie in the "bozos", because he is directly replying here to a question about Bernie. Neera Tanden wasn't actually bothered by any of the above because she proudly forwarded the hate speech about Republicans and the insult to Bernie to John Podesta.

This eerily sounds similar to what Trump just proposed just yesterday. Too bad she's done the full opposite on these 'rules'.

End the legalized bribery today. If you take a campaign contribution and change a law because of that, go to jail. She has never done that. No one else should either.

End practice of revolving door of members or anyone in admin. 5 yr bans maybe. I don't know what it is now. If you regulate an industry, can't go in to it later if you work for her. All will sign a pledge.

Apparently Hillary said something on Rachel (Maddow?) about a pressing amendment to DOMA that (according to team) was incorrect, ie not factual. The team know she won't go back on it, say she's wrong. Hillary's incorrect statement has upset LGBT supporters, the team is getting blowback. They're trying to work out how to spin it. Since THEY know she won't go back on THIS and they say she's WRONG:- It'd be a good thing for Trump to ask her in the debate!?

Someone who knows some history around DOMA needs to look at this. Also - sounds like LGBT peeps should know that Hillary HASN'T walked back her wrong statement, and won't, just her team spinning it.

I would like to loop Dan and Jake into drafting of likely policy initiatives for testing--they have already provided me some input, but I'd like to get them on calls with the team to drill down on this in more detail, since it's so important. I know that policy is still a nascent process and will be highly iterative, but I don't think it makes sense to do the polling in isolation from the policy work itself (since the research should be supporting and informing the policy development)

Clinton team trying to determine what Hillary's policy positions should be based on polling.

My one thought from the conversation I participated in with Wendy is that her strength is in branding and marketing, using the evidence base in determining how to generate the behaviors sought in the target audience. So I think she has the capacity and creativity to drive the brand development and strategy from inception to execution. I imagine she would rely on the data that is being collected through the polling and focus groups you outline but equally as important, would likely have questions she might suggest specifically be included in the process.

It's like they're developing an advertisement campaign for a product, only the product is Hillary Clinton.

I would still assume our budget will be in the $2+ million range per my earlier memo

They spent $2 Million on polling and focus groups to craft Hillary's public persona

This pretty much explains why CTR's paid posting campaigns were needed for Reddit and Facebook. She does not have enough real supporters who "give enough of a damn" to actively cheer and support her. This is why they need masses of paid shills here on Reddit, to create the illusion of enthusiastic support.

If there are secret Clinton talking points to surrogates to attack Bernie---and I now believe the story is true-----she is going to create ill-will that neither she nor her staff can even imagine. ..

What will happen if this continues is Bernie will get pissed off and lash back and I can write the words he will say if Clinton tactics anger him----FBI investigation and aides taking the Fifth will be among them---and it will not be pretty.

opposition research director Tony Carrk sends a hurried email to Podesta and many other high ranking staffers:

subject: If we get to talk to her on break

Have her mention climate change J

Now just what this could be? Seems very important to mention climate change, IF the staff can talk to her on break. If they update her talking points during the break they have to include climate change in there, writes Carrk. Now what situation could allow for such a break? Perhaps a debate against Bernie Sanders? Can someone look into whether there were any debates against Bernie during this time. This email strongly implies that they used the breaks in some type of event to update her talking points with the latest information produced by the team. This email was sent on 2016-01-18 0:47 (just barely, seems more like the evening of 01-17 in a different timezone)

UPDATE from a poster in the thread:" "View source" shows that email was received by Podesta's ISP on Sun, 17 Jan 2016 18:47:14 (PST) which is actually during the Democrat debate on January 17 in which Crooked Hillary competed against Senator Bernie Sanders and other Dems."

Podesta replies:

I pushed her on this on Sunday night. She claims she didn't remember saying it. Not sure I believe her. We were speculating, that it may be a Don Baer intervention.

John Podesta, the chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, thinks that Hillary may be lying to him here. To even think this Podesta MUST believe that Hillary is a pathological liar who just can't stop lying. Podesta simply does not believe or trust her. You know your "trustworthy" numbers must be bad when you read "Not sure I believe her" from your own goddamn campaign chairman.

Neera Tanden angrily responds

I mean it makes my life more difficult after telling every reporter I know she's actually progressive but that is really the smallest of issues. It worries me more that she doesn't seem to know what planet we are all living in at the moment.

From: Sara Solow >She wants to be able to say: "No, I don't accept donations from private prisons or from ppl who run private prisons." But for her to say that, it has to be true.

TRANSLATION, HRC TAKES MONEY FROM PRIVATE PRISONS THAT LOCK UP MORE BLACKS/ HISPANICS THAN WHITES. -> THEY MAKE MORE MONEY THE MORE PEOPLE ARE IMPRISONED.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michaela-pommells/study-more-people-of-colo_b_4826086.html>More than 60 percent of prison inmates in the U.S. identify as African American or Latino despite making up only 30 percent of the population. >private prisons seek the least expensive prisoner to generate the highest possible profit. >Private prisons receive carte blanche, picking and choosing the most desirable prisoner. In this case, they are more likely to chose African American and Latino prisoners; the prisoners of plenty.

HRC needs to be able to say "that she only accepts money from bundlers who lobby for private prisons -- as well as other groups. Or that there is some disconnect between the lobbyists/bundlers for her, and actual private prison companies."

Instead of shutting the prisons down or changing the industry, she just removes the direct link.

Their staff confirms Obama knew about Hillary's email server. Confirmation Obama and Hillary emailed. Email is them planning to cover it up:

Suggest Philippe talk to Josh or Eric. They know POTUS and HRC emailed. Josh has been asked about that. Standard practice is not to confirm anything about his email, so his answer to press was that he would not comment/confirm. I recollect that Josh was also asked if POTUS ever noticed her personal email account and he said something like POTUS likely had better things to do than focus on his Cabinet's email addresses.

Ron Klain writes about how Hillary called TPP the "gold standard". This is what she lied about in the first debate. The staffers knew in 2015 October this would look so bad, but they went along with it anyway.

I had to get off that call before it ended, and I also didn't want to intrude in that group. But FWIW, my view would be: 1. * She has to be for TPP*. She called it the "gold standard" of trade agreements. I think opposing that would be a huge flip flop. She can say that as President she would work to change it. She can say that it can be better. But I think she should support it.

Jake Sullivan

I agree with you on TPP but others (including on this email!) feel strongly to the contrary.

So two senior officials in the Hillary campaign admitted that it would be a "huge flip flop" and they did it anyway because it was popular at the time. Now Hillary's only attempted defense is to claim that she did not call TPP the gold standard (she did). Weak.

Possible another bimbo being dicked by Johnny boy? Their other correspondence seems more personal than professional. She's concerned about whether her son is going to get to the shelter in 90 seconds before the bombs drop on Tel Aviv. Too bad he doesn't have 4 minutes

Here they are trying to weazel out of TPP support, it's not even her changing position, it's her staff trying to find a good excuse to get votes:

"you have no easy task here but I do feel like there are too many competing interests in the statement. On one hand you praise Obama while opposing his efforts and actions. Then you dissect the agreement in praise and criticism. And you take a swipe at Republicans for creating the environment that drives part of her opposition which feels forced and a way to lesson the blow to opposing the president. And the arguments against are so policy driven that I feel the American worker gets left out as the real reason to oppose it. But them again, beggars can't be choosers.

yeah, my favorite part is how he connects IS [ISIS] to "billionaire families" in the Arab world. Always goes back to the billionaires. Hilarious. It sounds a bit too much like "our war in syria and iraq is ultimately a battle to reshape islam". We'd lose that one. But I like the direction he's going. Maybe you could one-up him with: "ISIS is trying to behead Islam" (kidding, don't do that)

The Clinton Foundation Memorandum of Understanding. When Clinton becamse Sec of State Obama made her sign the attached document. She agreed that there wouldn't even be the appearance of a conflict of interest between her job at State and the donor's to the foundation.

*OFF RECORD, if pressed on whether we are essentially admitting the possibility that she deleted some emails:*Look, we do not know what these materials are, or where they came from. Just take a look at them: many of the documents are not even formatted as emails.

Why would the HRC campaign have a plan for responding to allegations she deleted emails if they know she didn't delete them?????

"OFF RECORD, if pressed on whether we are essentially admitting the possibility that she deleted some emails:Look, we do not know what these materials are, or where they came from. Just take a look at them: many of the documents are not even formatted as emails."

THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE THE ILLUSION THAT HILLARY CLINTON DID NOT DELETE ANY EMAILS (SHE DID).

Neera Tanden is the President of the Center for American Progress (CAP), and one of the most prominent email partners of Podesta as shown by the Podesta leaks.

This is what the powerful Clinton people thought about the servile media such as the New York Times as soon as they wrote anything but sycophantic praises of Hillary Clinton. In this case the NYT dared to report about Hillary Clinton's email abuses. Their reaction: "Fuck these assholes". And they did. They planned retaliation against the NYT journalists. And by now it is clear they got them to fall in line. They never dare to reveal even slightly negative information about the Clintons.

Jennifer Palmieri's reacton to "Fuck these assholes"

"Love it. Thanks, Neera!"

Neera Tanden"this is probably very unhealthy for me, but I'm going to war on this on twitter."

This is the key folks, this is how we even know they were talking about the New York Times. The date of the email is Thu, 30 Jul 2015 20:56:39 -0700 (PDT) . Neera Tanden posted the following to twitter during this time : tweet 1 http://archive.is/PcBAy document from tweet 1 http://archive.is/XLFS1 tweet 2 http://archive.is/tmfib tweet 3. http://archive.is/ItFbj

This is Neera's response:"@ron_fournier @HillaryClinton @nytimes Did you read the letter? Is that kind of journalism you practice Ron? I would never have thought that"

But what did she respond to? This tweet from Ron Fournier http://archive.is/UPl2U

Who convinced @HillaryClinton to pick a fight with @nytimes (and by extension all of us)? PR malpractice.

The evidence is conclusive. The only possible target of the "Fuck these assholes" is the servile New York Times, now working overtime for the Hillary Clinton campaign. This is the retaliation and anger, both internally and publicly when the lapdog media steps out of line. They dared to write about the emails. This was the cause for "war on twitter" for Neera Tanden. Two days later Tanden is still angrily tweeting about the NYT http://archive.is/ejqID http://archive.is/gG8gw . There is no other "letter", just the one written to the NYT. There is no other "twitter war" in this period, just against the New York Times.

Neera Tanden's message to the New York Times journalists and editors for all to see : "fuck these assholes" . Will the New York Times report this, examine this story? Will they ask Neera whether she stands by her comments that the NYT are assholes who should be fucked? Or will the New York Times cover up the story even though it directly involves them and their coverage?

"While on one level Trump’s assertion is somewhat silly and superficial, on another its potentially clever because it could possibly lead to a new spate of articles on how ISIS came to be and the US role in it.

"You can see Bill's questions to me. I have become friends with him and can get insights but recall in general he is not a fan of most banks especially Goldman so don't know his angle yet."

If Bill is truly not a fan of the banks, then why did he sign into law the repeal (the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act) of Glass Steagall which gave the banks unprecedented ability to gamble with deposits? Bill signing this into law directly resulted in the 2008 Great Financial Crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_legislation

The only explanation is they own him as a result of #PayToPlay. Wall St. banks have given $30 million to the Clintons through speaking fees and donations to the Clinton Foundation.

"one of HRC's opponents will soon charge that she is running an "imperial campaign." If it is the right opponent, Democrat or Republican, the charge will resonate. Probably 90% of the total media coverage of HRC has a negative slant, from her paid speeches to foundation donations to not answering questions from the press."

"If we look at a long curve of her numbers, there is reason for serious concern if trends continue and I see nothing today that will change them."

"There is a missing element in her campaign and it is troubling. The "imperial campaign" charge will resonate when the right candidate figures it out…."

"Raisers are effectively salespeople selling the candidate on the donor marketplace, so their feedback is valuable to HQ in terms of tweaking policy, messaging, tone, etc …big donors usually have ideas/advice and want to feel like they are being heard"

Carlyle Group owns Booz Allen Hamilton. A big Defense Contractor. But we already knew BAH was sucking up to Clinton. Although Carlyle Group recently started dumping them (made like 2 billion off of them since they went public - IPO). I believe it has to do with their relations to Snowden and the other recent NSA insider threat. The thing with BAH is that they really should be held accountable for their own problems. Security culture in the firm is lax and they have poor management in that respect.

Hillary is not running against Bernie, she is running against herself, against the perception that she is calculating and lacks principles and causes and a higher purpose to be president and that she is too beholden to inside powers that give her money and an insider system that voters detest in this election, in both parties.....

Attacking Bernie doesn't help her win this campaign against herself, it hurts her, stories about others doing "her dirty work" only dirty her and lower her level of trust, and the attacks against Bernie only help him, making him look like the fighter against a corrupt politics of which Hillary appears to part of.....

Bernie is fighting an asymmetrical political war from the bottom up, Hillary is fighting an old fashioned conventional war from the top down in a political year when the top is terribly disliked and the bottom is in revolt....

Hillary is almost universally seen as far too entrenched with Wall Street players who paid her money to speak and give money to her campaigns...

Hillary won't win one vote by attacking "robber barons" unless she backs it up with substance which doesn't mean talking class warfare, but does mean taking some policy positions that do not require approval from Wall Street donors....

I was at a university day with thousands of students on Saturday where Bernie had a booth with a long line of people signing up to support him, and Hillary did not have any booth and I did not see even one Hillary button or t-shirt from even one student who cared to support the candidate who would be the first woman president----not even one!!!

And on Bernie's major issues, whether they are "left" or not, most of them are majority positions, and she would defeat Bernie by co-opting as many of these issues as possible and not using "surrogates" to do "dirty work" against him which helps him, and hurts her......Brent"

Separately, gerstein is still confident the review is indeed done, and the emails are no longer being handled as TS materials, and the statement was only issued last night because ODNI is trying to avoid embarrassing the IG by acting like they have overruled them."

"Claire McCaskill: Give me a call back at your convenient on my cell or at home. Got some info about the state department IG. You guys should digest and figure out what if anything we can do."

The State Department IG (Inspector General) was investigating Hillary Clinton's email use and disclosure of classified information, including TOP SECRET/SAP to unauthorized persons, without security clearances such as IT staff or a team of lawyers. Giving inside information about the State Department IG could allow the Hillary staff to get ahead of the investigation and run an efficient coverup.

Robert Gates, the sitting Secretary of Defense emailing John Podesta's gmail from his secret email address in 2008. Robert Gates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gates) who served as the 22nd United States Secretary of Defense from 2006 to 2011, wrote this to John Podesta's gmail address:

"Several items. 1. I will interview Michele Flournoy, Bob Hale and Jeh Johnson tomorrow. I support all three and will e-mail you a presumed thumbs up by midday. ..

2. Scott Gratian called Robert Rangel and told him he was doing all the personnel for DoD and that we should work with him. I just need confirmation whether that is true since this is the first time he has come up on the net on personnel.

3. I really must communicate with the political appointees/schedule C folks here by this Friday about their future. I have told Clapper, Donley and Vickers that they are likely to be asked to stay for some period of time -- maybe up to a year -- and told them to keep mum. All others are in the dark. ..

4. Once Flournoy, Hale, Johnson, Soule, etc. are named, they will no longer be able to serve on the transition because of the presumption problem on the Hill. You will need to think about the composition of the team at that point.

5. Finally, Senator Levin called me this morning and pointedly asked that names for Deputy and other senior jobs be run by the Armed Services staff director (Rick DeBobes) and Levin's chief of staff (David Lyles) before final decisions are made.

That's "all" for now Thanks for the help. Bob"

I think the sitting Secretary of Defense and John Podesta are discussing yoga emails here in coded language. If this was some official business, Gates could not have used an address ending in @att.net meaning an address that was registered with AT&T and not the Department of Defense. Right?

John Podesta and George Soros were having a meeting. As part of the preparation Soros staff is sending Podesta memos to read. The first memo is on Malaysia it is a 14 page pdf, so check the attachment of this email.

"Subject: Soros meeting

Hi John, sorry it was so difficult for us to talk. I have attached a memo on TPP and Malaysia, as it may come up when you see George and Alex. .. In a separate email I will send you George’s latest thinking on the migration crisis, which he is spending a lot of time on. His other big preoccupation these days is Ukraine. Both the migration crisis and Ukraine are part of his view of Europe as falling apart"

The Malaysia memo, the pdf attachment to this email has some items at the end which look like demands that George Soros wanted to extract from the administration. Things such as:

"Dissociate from Najib…soon. The administration should consider a plan to distance itself from Mr Najib. The open scandal around Najib has spiraled out of control and his position is unsustainable.

Demand Anwar’s release At a closed door meeting with Mr. Najib in Kuala Lumpur in November 2015, the President firmly requested the release of Mr. Anwar, on health grounds, for medical treatment in Washington. Najib has not complied."

Someone who knows more about Malaysia and George Soros's interests there could look into this. Why did Soros want to influence the political situation in that country in such a direct way?

I know this is not the answer she wants, but I feel very strongly that doing the speech is a mistake--the data are very clear on the potential consequences. It will be three days after she's announced and on her first day in Iowa, where caucus goes have a sharply more negative view of Wall Street than the rest of the electorate. Wall Street ranks first for Iowans among a list of institutions that "take advantage of every day Americans", scoring twice as high as the general election electorate.

John - you are loyal to a fault. You represent a client that is not honest and is most likely criminal. Hillary and Bill are not worth trying to defend as they are manipulative and they use people. Not exactly presidential material. Your defense of them losses all creditability to those that admire you. I hope you can see truth, live it and not live a lie.

HRC DELETED EMAILS AND COLLUSION WITH REPORTER AT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TO MANIPULATE PUBLIC OPINION BEFORE TURNING OVER EMAILS TO CONGRESS

Nick Merrill <nmerrill@hillaryclinton.com> > wrote:

"Just spoke to State a little more about this. A few updates.

The plan at the moment is for them to do this tomorrow, first thing in the morning.

What that means specifically is that they are going to turn over all the Blumenthal emails to the Committee that they hav along with some other HRC emails that include a slightly broader set of search terms than the original batch. That of course includes the emails Sid turned over that HRC didn't, which will make clear to them that she didn't have them in the first place, deleted them, or didn't turn them over. It also includes emails that HRC had that Sid didn't, as Brian noted."

CLINTONS CREATED LOOSE ETHICS AGREEMENT IN 2009 TO ALLOW FOR THINGS LIKE HAIM SABAN TO BRIBING WJC TO GET RECOMMENDED FOR STATE DEPT CONTRACT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haim_Saban

Hartina Flournoy wrote:

Our understanding is tha POLITICO is working on a number of articles that touch upon the foundation. A number of the questions also touch upon State. There appears to be particular interest in Haim Saban. Below are 3 such questions.

UNDOUBTEDLY CASTING THE CF IN A FAVORABLE LIGHT OR AT LEAST CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE AWAY FROM THE MORE CRIMINAL ASPECTS

"It has been reported that the State Department rejected a consultancy the president proposed with Saban Capital Group."

HAIM SABAN IS A HUGE DONOR TO THE CF. WJC WAS CLEARLY BRIBED TO PUSH STATE DEPT TO GIVE CONTRACT TO SABAN

"Who paid the expenses associated with President Clinton’s travel to Israel in December 2009 to speak at the Saban Forum? The travel expenses were paid for by Haim Saban."

AGAIN, HOW IS THIS NOT BRIBERY? PAID ALL TRAVEL EXPENSES IN EXCHANGE FOR RECOMMENDATION OF CONTACT WITH STATE DEPT

"It appears that the ethics agreement the Clintons set in place in 2009, in intent and/or practice, resulted in a lower standard for conflicts of interest or appearances of such with respect to the foundation as opposed to private business arrangements with President Clinton. In other words, some donors were acceptable to donate to the foundation but not to enter into business arrangements with President Clinton. What’s the rationale for that distinction?"

CLINTONS SETUP THE AGREEMENT TO ALLOW FOR MORE BRIBERY AND SELLING GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Mayor Nutter just called to make a final pitch for Philadelphia. He believes the two of you agreed it was the best city when you met last year and he is keeping his fingers crossed that you will weigh in in favor of Philadelphia.

I conveyed your official and unofficial neutral position and he understood. He asked me to convey the message to you that he called.

Clauses flipped below per John's suggestion. John let me know if that's not what you meant. Cheryl and I talked offline and we're going to keep the first sentence as it was originally. So here's where we are. Everyone ok with this?

"Secretary Clinton has already turned all of her work emails over to the State Department, and the Department has been responsive to the committee, and will continue to be. Representatives of Secretary Clinton's office have been in touch with the committee to make clear that we want to make everything public, we call on the committee to do so as soon as possible, and that she's ready and willing to come and appear herself."

"Hiring corporate wizards has never been a successful strategy in campaigns. And anyone whose name is in the paper 48 hours after they meet with her needs to be cut off completely from her campaign."

From: John Podesta <john.podesta@gmail.com>"I generally agree with the point, but we need a strategy on this that goes beyond internal discipline. This story could have been written without any of these big mouths blabbing... We can and should try to shut this down... We need a strategy to enable people who are real and disable those that aren't.

We need to gut through the process phase, get them all out there and let the content do the talking."

Anne-Marie Slaughter on the same chain:

"Honestly, OTR, EVERYONE I knew at State used our private email (I used Princeton) when we were out of the office (except for our blackberries, which were State issued) ... We sent sensitive but unclassified documents to our private emails so we could work on them at home and then sent them back to our work emails. Moreover, the overall lesson that everyone had taken away from the Clinton administration was not to put ANYTHING politically sensitive on email period, regardless of the system. I remember getting called on that early on"

Maybe they don't want to do this, but the stakes are pretty damn high in this election for him.

WHY??? HIS PRESIDENCY IS OVER, HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS NOW INCLUDING MAKING TONS OF MONEY. COULD IT NEW BECAUSE HE IS IMPLICATED IN CRIME JUST LIKE HRC? WE KNOW HE LIED ABOUT HIM EMAILING HRC OVER UNSECURED MEANS. WHAT ELSE DID HE LIE ABOUT THAT MIGHT BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT IF HRC LOSES?

Here are the compiled lists of Asian American and Muslim American candidates for top Administration jobs, sub-cabinet jobs, and outside boards/agencies/policy committees. A couple things to note about the list of Muslim American candidates

“In the candidates for top jobs, I excluded those with some Arab American background but who are not Muslim”

We need to set aside some time – it can be tomorrow, it can be Thursday – to do Q-and-A on the political questions, which now seem to be really owning the coverage:

1. Are you slipping in the polls? Why? 2. Do new revelations about your emails bring these issues back? 3. Can voters trust you? 4. WJC Issues a. Is his conduct relevant to your campaign? b. You said every woman should be believed. Why not the women who accused him? c. Will you apologize to the women who were wrongly smeared by your husband and his allies? d. How is what Bill Clinton did different from what Bill Cosby did?

We should agree on the list of questions, and agree on when/how we are prepping these.

I do believe that this starts with alignment on our campaign culture and a paradigm shift in the old Clinton M.O. I know HRC believes the more people you talk to the better but it simply isn’t. Especially for her. We really need to tighten who she talks to and make sure that Huma/schedulers route most people through high level folks on the campaign so that they are being listened to.

I think Robby rightly says that a lot of our leaks are coming through job searches we’re doing.

John,...there isn’t a good response when you are an elected official. You are paid to do your job—not run for another office. People do resent that someone is getting a government paycheck (from them) and not showing up to do their job.

Talked to Heather late afternoon aand told her I'd heard from Dem Staff Director on Benghazi Select Comm that NYT was sniffing around, maybe to do a story on State production to Committee or on our production to State. I'd gotten a call from NYT's Mike Schmidt (very young) about 2:00 pm--said nothing on background or on record. I didn't feel he had anything, but. We may get a further inquiry from him over weekend.

His main focus was trying to persuade me to give him copies of the HRC emails State has recently produced to the Committee "so that the NYT can fairly and credibly analyze and report on them authoritatively and thereby take the spin out of any false leaks or assertions by the Benghazi Committee majority."

NYT ALLUDING TO SHILLING FOR THE HRC CAMPAIGN AND SPINNING A STORY THAT WILL HELP PROTECT DURING BENGHAZI HEARINGS

Alright, just heard back. See below. He is trying to save face and being helped by his source trying to save face.

nick,

…for example, many emails jake sent or received from the secretary were from his state.gov account. but he did send mrs. clinton an email in april 2012 from his personal account that outlined her leadership in bringing down the qaddafi regime.

HRC CAMPAIGN PODESTA DISCUSSING MAKING AN EXAMPLE WITH "STIFF CONSEQUENCES" OUT OF A POTENTIAL LEAKER WITH OUT WITHOUT EVIDENCE

Joel Benenson <jbenenson@bsgco.com> wrote: John,

I think we have to make examples now of people who have violated the trust of HRC and the rest of the team. People going forward need to know there are stiff consequences for leaking, self-promotion, unauthorized talking with the press.

Following up on the conversation this morning about needing more arrows in our quiver on Wall Street... I wrote her a long riff about economic fairness and how the financial industry has lost its way, precisely for the purpose of having something we could show people if ever asked what she was saying behind closed doors for two years to all those fat cats...

Perhaps at some point there will be value in sharing this with a reporter and getting a story written. Upside would be that when people say she's too close to Wall Street and has taken too much money from bankers, we can point to evidence that she wasn't afraid to speak truth to power. Downside would be that we could then be pushed to release transcripts from all her paid speeches, which would be less helpful (although probably not disastrous)

From: Brian Fallon <bfallon@hillaryclinton.com> To: Dan Schwerin

I think we could come up with a vanilla characterization that challenges the idea that she sucked up to these folks in her appearances but then use AP's raising of this to our advantage to pitch someone to do an exclusive by providing at least the key excerpts from this Deutsche Bank speech. In doing so, we could have the reporting be sourced to a "transcript obtained by [news outlet]" so it is not confirmed as us selectively providing one transcript while refusing to share others.

I worry about going down this road. First, the remarks below make it sound like HRC DOESNT think the game is rigged -- only that she recognizes that the public thinks so. They are angry. She isn't.

HRC KNOWS THE GAME IS RIGGED AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE HER LARGEST DONORS ARE RIGGING IT AND SO IS SHE

Second, once you start looking at speeches, you run smack into Maggie Haberman's report for Politico on HRC's Goldman Sachs speech, in which HRC isn't quoted directly, but described as saying people shouldn't be vilifying Wall Street.

She initiated two -- she emails you and Huma re the DVD, and forwards one of Sid's memos to Huma to print. (She also forwards an email to Monica on her non.gov to print, but see Schmidt no longer mentions her).

Hey Neera, Just wanted to pass along this note I sent to Bob Creamer, who as you may know is consulting for the DNC and is close to Robby Mook...

And while I don’t think it will cause them to lost the primary, I do worry it makes everything tougher in that process, and it makes bringing everyone in (and getting them excited) after Bernie loses that much harder.

she wants to be a surrogate on Benghazi. Senate Intel did abipartisan report while she was chair finding no wrongdoing.

Diane later talked to HRC and reiterated offer to help

HRC CAMPAIGN ADMITS CLASSIFIED INFO WAS UNPROTECTED AND ON THUMB DRIVE AND SERVER

I happened to come across this yesterday. Wanted to share in case you missed it last month. A couple other similar outlets, such as Free Beacon, picked it up too.

John Podesta <http://washingtonexaminer.com/section/john-podesta>, one of President Obama <http://washingtonexaminer.com/section/barack-obama>'s closest White House advisers, counts among his key financial supporters Hansjorg Wyss, a reclusive Swiss billionaire whose company conducted illegal human experiments that resulted in the deaths of three elderly patients.

PODESTA ON THE STATE OF HRC'S CAMPAIGN & HE SAID HRC HAS BAD INSTINCTS

John Podesta informs his friend Neera Tanden about the state of the campaign in September, 2015 :

"Biden will get in We are still way more likely than not to win nomination We've taken on a lot of water that won't be easy to pump out of the boat. Most of that has to do with terrible decisions made pre-campaign, but a lot has to do with her instincts."

Along similar lines, I'd like to try a version of what Justin Trudeau did. He did a 100 minute town hall where 10 real people got 10 minutes each to > go up on stage and ask him questions. You see real people have these momentary interactions with her, but never get to see real conversations. Could be cool. And we could hand select for diversity, etc

FORMER HRC DEPUTY STATES EVERYONE USES GMAIL ACCOUNT AND IMPLIES THERE IS SOME VERY DIRTY STUFF IN HER EMAILS

Tom Nides (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_R._Nides) to John Podesta. Nides worked as a Deputy under Hillary Clinton in the State Department for two years from early 2011 to early 2013.

"For what it's worth. There is only one thing that needs to be done on this email thing. (Which I am sure nobody wants to do). Get a state dept career lawyer to go through all the emails and pull the official ones. I know all the reasons not to do it but it's going to happen so we should do it. Btw you know as well as I every god damn cabinet officer and WH staff uses there gmail account!"

Date of the email 2015-03-06 by Nides, four days after the NYT publicly broke the email story.

On another matter....and not to sound like Lanny, but we are going to have to dump all those emails so better to do so sooner than later"

Paul Combetta, an employee of Platt River Networks used BleachBit to dump 33K emails between March 25-31 according to press reports. Shortly after having a phone conversation with Cheryl Mills . Was Podesta talking about deleting the emails here?

i cannot stress enough that if this is not handled appropriately it will blow up"

CHAI as we know is the Clinton Health Access Initiative. So what can be the big scandal?

Was she talking about CHAI scheming to keeping the prices of AIDS drugs high in the US (https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/58w7pq/clinton_foundation_schemed_with_big_pharma_to/?st=iulys77t&sh=261f9b6d)? Or is there another huge scandal that is yet uncovered?

Craig Sorry to interrupt your Sunday. We have confirmation from interview and other records that the Clinton Foundation received a subpeona from the State IG requesting documents and document preservation. Would you have a moment to chat about this. We want to be careful with this and get it right. ThanksTom
